		Naachtun appears to have flourished between about 500 and 800 AD, believed to be a time of almost constant warfare in the Mayan area.
		Naachtun was located between the two great powers and came to be important to both the war and trade strategies of the rival kingdoms.
		Naachtun, which is 130 kilometers north of the city of Flores, was founded around 400 BC and is believed to have been home to up to 20,000 people at the peak of its powers.

		Il gruppo tenterà di spiegare come i Naachtun sopravvissero al crollo della grande civiltà pre-classica di Mirador, per poi fiorire nel corso dei secoli, tra il 500 e l’800 d.C., ritenuto un periodo di guerra quasi ininterrotta nell’area Maya, con Tikal e Calakmul, le due superpotenze regionali impegnate in una battaglia sanguinaria per la supremazia.
		Naachtun era situata in linea diretta lungo la rotta tra i due grandi poteri e divenne d’importanza vitale sia per le strategie di guerra che per il commercio tra i due regni rivali.
		Gli archeologi non sono sicuri se Naachtun fosse un territorio neutrale come la Svizzera dei tempi moderni, dove la gente di entrambe le parti poteva incontrarsi per discutere, o più simile all’attuale Afghanistan, un’entità posizionata in modo strategico dove le terze parti in guerra avrebbero esercitato una forte influenza.

		The initial season of investigations at Naachtun revealed that the civic center was founded between 100 BC and AD 150, however, its period of greatest growth appears to have been between AD 150 and 300, the initial stages of the Early Classic period.

		The size of Naachtun, the grandeur of its public architecture, and the presence of over 40 stelae, indicate that it was the centre of a very powerful kingdom during the Classic period.

	Naachtun (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Known as Naachtun, the city-state played a strategic and possibly unique diplomatic role in the turbulent politics of the Mayan civilization.
		The team will try to explain how Naachtun survived the collapse of the great pre-classic Mirador civilization and then went on to blossom during centuries of conflict that followed.
		It appears to have flourished between around 500 and 800 A.D., believed to be a time of almost constant warfare in the Mayan area, with Tikal and Calakmul, the two regional superpowers locked in a frequently vicious internecine fight for supremacy.

	Ghost of a flea: Naachtun
		New archaeological work at Naachtun seeks to discover the role the city played in centuries of conflict betweek Tikal and Calakmul.
		Naachtun, or "distant stone," is a misleading modern name for a place which these days is remote but in the Mayan Classic period lay directly between warring powers.
		Archeologists are not sure whether Naachtun was neutral territory like Switzerland where people from both sides would come in and discuss with each other or more like Afghanistan, a strategically placed entity where warring third parties would vie for influence.

		The Naachtun Archeological Project is a multi-disciplinary research project that merges archaeological investigations with environmental conservation and economic development in the tropical forest of northern Guatemala.
		The ancient Maya city of Naachtun is still one of the most remote sites in the Yucatan peninsula, and one of the least known of all major Classic Maya centres.
		Sadly, however, even though Naachtun is extremely isolated, most of the major mounds have been pitted and trenched by looters.

		Naachtun was located directly en route between the two great powers and came to be vitally important to both the war and trade strategies of the rival kingdoms.
		Studded with pyramids, numerous stone carvings and a sprawling 10-acre palace complex, Naachtun was founded around 400 BC and is believed to have been home to up to 20,000 people at the peak of its powers.
		The last serious exploration attempt at Naachtun was a three-week visit by the Carnegie Institution in Washington in 1933 that produced the only map of the site.

		Naachtun pontosan a két nagyhatalom között helyezkedett el, ezért mindkét viszálykodó királyságnak rendkívül fontossá vált mind hadi, mind kereskedelmi szempontból, ugyanis közvetlen támadás előtt a birodalmaknak át kellett haladniuk Naachtunon.

		According to a team of arqueologist from Guatemala and the University of Calgary, the theory that in the Mayan world women did not have power was given a set back when a stelae found in Naachtun, Peten shows the existence of a Mayan queen.
		After the discovery of this stelae, efforts were put into effect to try and find the tomb so that the enigma and myth of women governing can be put to rest.
		Naachtun is located 90 km from Tikal and it was found at the beginning of the 1900’s.

		Located between the two warring city-states of Tikal and Calakmul, this ancient city was right at the heart of the Mayan civilization, one km south of the Mexican border.
		Many researchers concur that this final collapse was triggered by several factors including the constant warfare between kings, over-exploitation of fragile wetland ecosystems, and a famine beginning around AD 750.
		Naachtun is such a remote city that it had been independently "discovered" twice, long before the present excavation began.
